Alex de Minaur's girlfriend Katie Boulter rejoices as Aussie pulls off massive upset against Daniil Medvedev to reach French Open QF
Alex de Minaur's girlfriend Katie Boulter rejoiced upon the Aussie's victory over Daniil Medvedev in the fourth round of the 2024 French Open. De Minaur has reached the quarterfinal of the Paris Slam for the first time in his career.
The 11th-seed lost the opening set against Medvedev but came back in extraordinary fashion to win the match 4-6, 6-2, 6-1, 6-3.
After earning the winning points, De Minaur turned to his team and yelled:
“I love the clay. I love it here. I can’t get enough.”
He posted about his win on Instagram and captioned it:
"Quarters here we come."
Boulter and De Minaur have been together since 2020 and had kept their relationship under wraps for a long while. However, since they are now publicly dating, they do not shy away from showing affection for each other over social media. Boulter commented on De Minaur's post and resonated with his on-court feelings.
"I love the clay," Boulter commented.
While De Minaur is enjoying his best French Open campaign, British player Boulter had a disappointing outing as she lost to Paula Badosa in the first round of the singles event 6-4, 5-7, 4-6.
She also faced defeat in the women's doubles event in the first round. Boulter, along with partner Heather Watson, lost to the pair of Chan Hao-ching and Veronika Kudermetova 1-6, 6-3, 5-7.
